Hell yeah, I searched him a few days ago assuming he’d follow the trend to continue his grift, but unfortunately it wouldn’t let me report him.

I saw Eddie was on there, too, gonna have to remember to report him and the rest of those patsoc losers if they’re not already banned.

Edit: I still can’t report them, but they have zero posts between themselves, so I assume they’re banned? Maybe that’s why reporting them throws an error.

I think it’s just whatever server runs the verification stuff is getting hit too hard. I had to resend the code a few times, but it eventually went through.

PayPal is getting sued by a bunch of content creators for their Honey extension, which literally works by stealing affiliate referrals. But PayPal is probably big enough to never see real consequences from this, so who knows what will happen.

Panic in global metals markets as China rare earth export bans close brokerage hubs (Disclaimer: I’m unfamiliar with this author, I just came across their video version of this article through the youtube algo)

The Chinese bans are pushing metals prices violently higher, and causing panic across defense sectors where these materials are vital for aerospace, ballistics, and munitions.

I’m sure that contradiction won’t blow up in 's face at all.

Meanwhile China stays winning
